Mike Trout Reportedly Expected to Receive 'Lifetime' Contract Offer from
Angels
據報導Mike Trout會收到天使的終身約
While Bryce Harper and Manny Machado will be the biggest names on the
free-agent market this offseason, it could be a player already under contract
for the foreseeable future who could make the biggest splash.
今年的休賽季Bryce Harper跟Manny Machado將會是FA市場的最大咖，但是另外一個已經有
合約在身的選手將會掀起另一個最大的波瀾。
Mike Trout.
那就是Mike Trout。
According to Jon Heyman of Fancred, the Los Angeles Angels are expected to
approach Trout with extension talks that could lead to his being an Angel for
life.
根據Jon Heyman報導，天使被認為會與Mike Trout談續約，而且這約會讓他終身天使人。
Trout still has two years and $66.5 million remaining on the six-year, $144.5
million extension he signed back in March 2014, per Spotrac.
Trout在2014年三月簽下六年1億4450萬鎂的約，目前還有兩年約，剩下6650萬鎂的合約要
走完。
Even though he is under club control through the 2020 season, Los Angeles
would be wise to lock him up long-term. At 27, he is already widely
considered to be one of the greatest players in MLB history.
即使天使球團到2020年都還擁有Trout，但是天使若是夠聰明，就應該早點把Trout給綁
住。目前27歲的Trout被認為是在MLB歷史裡幾個偉大球員之一。
Since debuting in 2011, Trout has hit .307/.416/.571 with 234 home runs, 221
doubles, 44 triples, 188 stolen bases and 637 RBI. He has made the American
League All-Star team in each of his first seven full seasons. Not only that,
but he has won the AL Rookie of the Year award, two AL MVPs (including three
second-place and a fourth-place finish), two All-Star Game MVPs and five
Silver Sluggers.
從2011年開始，Trout的打擊三圍是.307/.416/.571，234支HR，221支二壘打，44支三壘
打，188次盜壘，637分打點。連續入選7屆美聯全明星，拿過美聯年度新人，兩次美聯MVP
(有3次第二跟一次第四)，兩次明星賽MVP跟五屆Silver Slugger。
Again, he turned 27 in August.
而且，他八月才剛滿27歲。
The biggest factor that could keep Trout from agreeing to a lifetime contract
with the Angels is that the club has made the postseason just once in his
career despite his lofty numbers. Los Angeles was swept by the Kansas City
Royals in the 2014 American league Division Series.
最大的因素會讓Trout不想跟天使簽終身約的因素應該是天使在他這段期間內只打進過一次
季後賽，即使他的數據如此亮眼。2014年，天使在與堪薩斯皇家爭奪美聯分區冠軍時被橫
掃出門。
Trout will get paid regardless of when he decides to ink his next deal, but
as one agent told Heyman, the outfielder would be wise to wait until after
Harper and Machado sign, allowing his fellow All-Stars to set the market. New
York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is the owner of the largest and
longest contract in MLB history, a 13-year, $325 million deal he signed with
the Miami Marlins in November 2014.
Trout不管他何時決定要簽下一個約，他都還是有錢拿。不過根據其他經紀人的說法，
Trout比較聰明的做法是等Harper跟Machado先簽約在說，這可以讓這兩位替他在市場試水
溫。目前在MLB歷史裡的最大長肥約是洋基的Giancarlo Stanton，在2014年與馬林魚簽下
13年3億2500萬鎂的約。
